Day three of #Guantanamo hearings in the 9/11 trials. Feels like a pivotal week.
* New administration (the fifth since Sept. 11th, 2001.)
* Closing arguments on whether the statements of one of the accused is admissible due to torture (5+ years argued.)
* Three others wanting to plea.

Photography is extremely limited this trip compared to others... But these were just OPSEC-approved. The flag Sunday at half-staff. It was raised as soon Trump became president yesterday.

Good morning from #Guantanamo Bay.
The 9/11 accused are in court today and the name of this gate at the courthouse feels unnerving for this Canadian journalist. 😨
(It's just a military thing.. north gate Canada, south gate Florida etc.. #Not51stState)

On assignment in #Guantanamo for a feature for @thewalrus.ca. Flags flying here at half-staff for late U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
It's about as surreal a place as anywhere to watch this. And remarkably my third inauguration-watching session in #Gitmo.

What I’m most excited about on BlueSky is being able to find the news again, and smart commentary. Just testing the market though for whether we’re going to want my dog calling to sirens too?
